Description

As discussed here:

http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&viewType=browseAll&dsMessageId=1725826#messagefocus

$ svn checkout -r 1000000
https://llvm.org/svn​/llvm-project/llvm/t​runk/include/llvm/AD​T
svn: No such revision 1000000

but:

$ svn export -r 1000000
https://llvm.org/svn​/llvm-project/llvm/t​runk/include/llvm/AD​T foo
A foo
A foo/ScopedHashTable.h
[...]
A foo/APFloat.h
Exported revision 69159.

Instead of diagnosing that I've asked for a valid revision, svn export
has quietly given me a different revision instead.

I'm using:

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.5.1 (r32289)
   compiled Dec 31 2008, 06:38:09
